That was a walk in the clouds.......and the drizzle and the WIND, oh the wind! No wonder no wonder the rest of the world was sitting at home in the warm.
But us oldies don't do that, do we? We have to show the world we're better than that!!
So, down the steep up/down hill to find the sad looking Leapra Cross, on through the fields to the timeless West Coombe farm, now showing signs of tidying up the decades of rubble and old metal.
The ash house has been cleaned up and now used as an animal shelter. More fields to the organic farm where there are HALF chickens roaming! Pardon!! And a very friendly smallish cow called Tessa who loved the top of her head tickled. More fields and mud, ancient gnarled trees, a very windy coffee break and through the calmer path to beautiful Heather Combe.
Then the inevitable climb upwards, no time to look for three fishes but out on to the brake into gale force winds and ever increasing low cloud.
Slight difference of opinion as to whether to slide right or carry on but eventually we reached the corner of the "lacy" wall, still standing, and then a straightforward walk back the cars.
And all the time getting wetter and wetter.
Warren House was not too busy, always efficient, food mostly very good before setting off home to warm up.
What fun! We must do it all again sometime.
